Seasonal guide to help you plan the perfect trip to in Cairo
Winter
December–February and major event months (e.g., November for some festivals).
June–August (summer) — lower hotel prices and fewer tourists.
March–May: Temperatures warm from the low-to-mid 20s°C (70s°F) into the high 20s–30°C (80s–90s°F). Khamsin dust/wind events typically occur in March and April and can reduce air quality and visibility.
Ramadan is the Islamic month of fasting; its Gregorian dates move yearly. It dramatically affects daily life — daytime business hours, restaurant operations, and social rhythms change. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan and Eid al-Adha occurs later in the year.
Usually held in November. One of Africa and the Middle East’s premier film events, attracting international guests, screenings, and galas.
Typically in January or February — a major regional publishing event held at the Cairo International Convention Centre.
A national spring holiday that follows Coptic Easter — date varies each year. Families picnic in parks and along the Nile.
Coptic Christmas falls on January 7. Churches in Coptic Cairo hold special services and processions.
Cairo has a hot desert climate. Always carry sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and a refillable water bottle. Expect strong sun and glare year-round. For desert excursions bring a light scarf or buff to protect against dust; pack layers for cool winter nights. For sandstorms, have a face covering and eye protection available.
Hotel prices in Cairo fluctuate with international tourist seasons, major local events, and Ramadan. The busiest months (late October through April, especially December–February and around major events like the Cairo International Film Festival and international holidays) see higher occupancy and rates—expect 20–50% higher prices at mid- to high-range hotels. Summer (June–August) is the low-value season because temperatures soar, reducing leisure tourism; hotels often discount rooms by 20–40% but some boutique and luxury properties still maintain higher rates for business and international visitors. Ramadan can push domestic travel and dining demand, raising prices for hotels and restaurants in some periods; conversely, some hotels offer Ramadan packages. Book 2–3 months in advance for winter and major event periods; last-minute deals are more common in summer. Peak weekends (Friday–Saturday in Egypt) and national holidays also see short-term price spikes.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Getting around Cairo combines metro, ride-hailing, taxis, and private drivers. Traffic can be dense; plan for extra travel time.
For the best pyramid experience, book a licensed guide and schedule your visit at sunrise or late afternoon to avoid heat and crowds. Combine Giza with nearby sites like Saqqara and Memphis on a full-day private tour. Always confirm museum opening times and ticketing procedures in advance — lines for popular attractions are shorter early in the morning.
